Martin O'Malley Ends His Campaign

Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley has ended his campaign. After a poor showing at the Iowa caucuses, in which the former Baltimore mayor won less than 1 percent of the state’s delegates, he officially ended his run for the presidency.

“I want to thank everyone who came out to our events and lent me their ear and everyone who went out to caucus for me tonight... This fight continues. We fought very, very hard in order to give the people a choice, and the people have made their choice tonight,”
